A very impressive Ottoman Empire silver metal ring. It has a round frame with black hardstone depth showing a face in profile. Three engraved circles enrich the background. The frame is richly decorated on all sides with a band of dense, small incised dots, partly worn and faded. The ring band has trefoil motifs at the shoulders, followed by wave-like patterns. Good solid condition, portable. Signs of wear are consistent with age and use.Dimensions: H 2.3cm x W 2.3cmInner diameter: 1.9 cmNearest UK ring size: OProvenance: Purchased by current owner in 2021.
